Bill Cosby plans to teach young men how to avoid being accused of sexual assault

Bill Cosby is planning seminars to help young men avoid being accused of sexual assault.

The disgraced comedian's spokespeople, Andrew Wyatt and Ebonee Benson, were guests on American breakfast show Good Day Alabama when they announced the 79-year-old wants to give a series of talks in July.

"Mr. Cosby wants to get back to work," Andrew told the hosts. "We're now planning town halls and we're going to be coming to this city sometime in July … to talk to young people because this is bigger than Bill Cosby."

Andrew said the seminars will be aimed at young men who are "hanging out and partying".

"This issue can affect any young person, especially young athletes of today, and they need to know what they're facing when they're hanging out and partying, when they're doing certain things that they shouldn't be doing," he said. "And it also affects married men."

Ebonee then said that a "brush against the shoulder" could get men in trouble.

"Laws are changing. The statute of limitations for victims of sexual assault are being extended," she added. "So this is why people need to be educated. A brush against the shoulder, anything at this point, can be considered sexual assault and it's a good thing to be educated about the laws."

The comedian was charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault against alleged victim Andrea Constand.

On June 17, Bill narrowly avoided conviction after the jury deadlocked and was unable to reach a verdict. There will be a retrial within three to four months.
Andrea is one of dozens of women who have accused Bill of drugging and then sexually assaulting them.
